In all the time I am in Bitcoin I managed to make some decent profits but not enough to get rich. Actually, by far not. But right now that's not really my purpose. I am perfectly fine with making decent profits every year as I like to see my wealth grow constantly.
It is a matter of setting goals and having a way to earn. I also see bitcoin as an alternative means of earning for now because there is many form or way for us to earn. But if you are planning or dreaming to earn more and to have many bitcoin it could be better if you are going to invest time and effort together with a big capital. And for you to achieve it you must work hard and develop yourself together with your ways of earning.
